Senior Software Engineer in Test

SET's at GitLab partner directly with Engineering teams to help improve the quality of the code they're shipping by embedding testing into the build as early as possible. It's an exciting time to join the Quality team as we're starting to move towards SET's taking on more infrastructure-related work, so you can expect to be also working on things like infrastructure-as-code, provisioning and monitoring as well as test automation!

• The GitLab Performance Tool: Tests the server performance of GitLab environment 
• The GitLab Environment Toolkit: A provisioning and configuration toolkit for deploying GitLab's Reference Architectures with Terraform and Ansible 

• Create new test frameworks and strategies for the team
• Work closely with the product engineering team to ensure Quality is embedded from the start
• Work with the product team and other development teams to understand how new features should be tested, and then engage them in contributing automated tests.
• Identify and drive the adoption of best practices in code health, testing, testability, and maintainability. You should know about clean code and the test pyramid, and champion these concepts.
• Analyze complex software systems and collaborate with others to improve the overall design, testability and quality.
• Strive for the fastest feedback possible. Test parallelization should be a top priority. You see distributed systems as a core challenge of good test automation infrastructure.

• Strong experience developing in Ruby or Golang (or another OOP language)
• Strong experience using Git
• Experience using test automation tools like Selenium, Capybara and/or Watir
• Experience building and implementing test frameworks from scratch
• Experience working on public cloud (GCP, AWS or Azure)
• Experience working with infrastructure-as-code and infra tooling like Kubernetes, Terraform and Ansible (if you've worked with similar, that's great too!)

By working closely between the broader Quality team and product teams, you're pivotal to ensuring Quality is everyone's responsibility which ultimately leads to better software for our customers.
